dish) class. However, it is possible to organize anything up to
a six day course.Students are provided with a comprehensive
recipe book to guide them during the course and which they can take
away with them. On request, a complete range of some 60 or so recipes
can be purchased. The cost per course will depend on number of participants.

Gift Shop

go into our community project fund to support the local schools and
many of the handicrafts are made by local school children.
